Rob That style window from C&C leaked soon after production. Our C&C 36 bought new in October 1980 had leaking problems on and off for many years during the 9 seasons our family owned it.
I suspect the "repaired" or "reinstalled" windows done by persons such as you on this list are probably better than the originals.

To remove the old windows, I took a small, stiff putty knife and cut approx. 1" off of the blade and then sharpened the blade with a file. From the inside of the window, in the cabin, I gently taped the putty knife blade with a hammer between the gelcoat and the window cutting as I went along. Got three (3) windows out no problem. Then the 4th window.....the top of that window was difficult and I made the mistake of touching the bottom of the window pushing it outwards causing the top of the window to break free taking the gelcoat with it. Now I had another job.....replacing the gelcoat and matching the color.....that's another story. After the windows were removed, I used a dremel tool with a fine bit to clean out the Plexus from the frame (side of the cabin) to accept the new windows. It's not rocket science but it is labor intensive to do it right.......I think have a step by step email of the entire project somewhere I can send you offline if you wish.
